gnus-summary-insert-old-articles calls gnus-summary-insert-articles
and there is ...

I don't grok that code, but it seems there's some mismatch in the
arguments (`articles' argument passed to gnus-summary-insert-article
from gnus-summary-insert-old-articles).

That's fine for me too. `111111 / o' too. Could you (or someone else)
try `/ o' without any prefix argument?

I don't understand this (maybe I'm too tired): `10 RET' after `/ o'?
Gives me the backtrace immediately after `/ o'

Bye, Reiner.
